Kenya’s inspiring Wangare Maathai was born on 1 April 1940. She fought against ecological degradation and neo-colonialism in Africa. Her legacy lives on through the countless trees she planted, the women she empowered and her enduring message that environmental stewardship and social justice are interconnected. Her life reminds us of our collective responsibility to safeguard our planet and champion equality for all. Let us sow the seeds of positive change and nurture them with the same fervour and resilience that she did.
